Advise on Solar Mounts ....
We scored three 250w solar panels in exchange for some work. This is great as this is how we like to pay for things. Before you get all jiggy on that I'll tell you that Cat is an Electrical Enginee...

I just use Strong Ties type L brackets. Cheap & available at Lowes, HD, Menards etc.. Home made are fine also, not rocket science.
Your speed isn't that important, you may be driving into a 50 knot headwind so not a good idea to mount them vertically.:B
That's a good point. I found some less expensive brackets online so I ordered them up. The roof is that typical plywood with snow coat on it. Nothing really sexy.
What I think I might do is screw these down into the roof, seal them up real good and then cable strap them to the A/C unit. This way should something want to get loose it will won't leave the coach. I'm certain I'd hear something if it even started to go loose but I never want to risk a lawsuit.
IT seems that solar is still a "new thing" and there isn't much of a standard on it yet. I'll photo up what I have when it's finished.
Thanks,
